SkyFire<\/span> Comes to iPhone<\/b><\/p>\n

I was a huge fan of SkyFire<\/span> on Windows Mobile as it approximated the iPhone Safari browser on a Windows Mobile device while also supporting Flash. Now it seems this browser is coming to<\/a> the iPhone and I wonder if Apple will force the company to disable the Flash support to ensure it abides by the company’s rules of not allowing other “programming languages” to run on it.<\/p>\n

TMC<\/span> Communities Continue Growth<\/b><\/p>\n

Over a decade ago I had the idea that every Web site in the world would need content in the form of articles, audio and video and in order to help customers meet these needs I launched a company called infofill.com<\/span> which I eventually decided would make more sense as a series of content-based communities living under TMCnet<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I realized this product was the future of media and for a decade TMC<\/span> has focused on building technology – specifically a proprietary content-targeting-engine which optimizes news and opinion pieces as well as videos for readers who in turn consume the content and help these micro-communities rank high on search engines and social networks.<\/p>\n

I just received word that TMC<\/span> has currently sold 199 of these news-generated communities and we are hiring to accommodate our growth as these custom communities are built and populated. I am fairly certain this is the largest collection of monthly sponsored news-generated communities on the planet. I’d love to hear from you if you believe this isn’t the case.<\/p>\n

Once again a major thank you to my readers and of course sponsors  - without you, TMC<\/span> would be like a tree falling in the woods with no one around to hear it and we are always looking to do whatever it takes to improve our products so you can rely on them when making purchasing decisions. We will likely put out a press release when we hit 200 and you know I like to keep my readers updated ahead of the rest of the world. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In terms of ITEXPO<\/span> and related events it has been another solid day.<\/b><\/p>\n

I can’t recall if I mentioned lately that we are still giving away a car at this show – this year a Mustang Convertible<\/b>. You have to be present to win Wednesday, October\u20086, 2010 at 4:45 PM. TMC<\/span> has been giving away a few cars a year at our trade shows year fairly consistently for about 15 years. Here are the details<\/a>.

I am not precisely sure the Mustang you win will have the exact options seen in this photo or will be this color. Oh and I am pretty sure the cowboy costs extra<\/b><\/span> <\/p>\n
